for you, too. 57 degrees was the high here, atlanta 68 degrees, tampa 84 degrees today and new orleans 70. check out temperatures right now. it's 46 in the district and that's significant because that 10:00 temperature is 3 degrees warmer than our average high for the day would be. we don't even see many places in the 30s, frederick down to 37, one of the colder spots it. doesn't look like it's going to be that -- spots. it doesn't look like it's going to be that cold tonight. we'll have some clouds coming into the picture to help keep temperatures near 40. heading into the weekend is when the warm stuff comes. you can see both the air masses. one of reasons we'll warm up so much is because we've got a really big push of cold air that will seesaw down through the west and that will make the other half of the seesaw go up on the east coast. mild conditions, warm temperatures and what are we talking about? how about 15 to 30 degrees above normal. that's for the weekend. in the short term for tomorrow when you head out, make sure you grab one of these and put it in the car. looks like we'll

for disease control and prevention here in atlanta. according to the latest cdc data, 5.6% of outpatient visits were for influenza-like illness. that's well above the national baseline of 2.2%. the spike in activity is happening weeks before the peaks of previous flu seasons over the past decade with the unusual exception of the early h1n1 pandemic in 2009. the predominant strain doctors are seeing this year is influenza a, h3n2. here's what cdc director thomas freeden said in an earlier interview. >> what we know about this year is that it seems to be starting sooner than most flu seasons and the strain of flu that is spreading tends to be associated with earlier and more severe flu years. >> reporter: he says the vaccine this year appears to be a good match for the virus. 41 states are reporting widespread flu activity. that's up from 31 states reporting in the previous week. in atlanta, jonathan serry, fox news. >>> 2012 was the nation's worst year for whopping cough. about 42,000 cases were reported last year. that's the most since 1955. one possible reason experts say a newer versio

of a lack of space. officials at the centers for disease control and prevention in atlanta report flu has killed 18 children through the end of last year. that number they say is almost certainly gone up. and the current number of flu cases already matches the peak of many previous years. this time scientists say the worst of the flu season is likely to come. the city of boston declared a public health emergency because the mayor reported some 700 confirmed flu cases in boston alone compared to just 70 during the last flu season. now, the city will offer free flu shots and health officials today urged it is not too late to protect yourself. >> there is is plenty of flu vaccine and people can get it at clinics. local boards of health. pharmacies are well-stocked with vaccine and of course your healthcare provider. >> shepard: eastern pennsylvania, teams have set up temporary flu clinic inside these outdoor tents cut down waiting time in the emergency room. in the chicago area some hospitals went into bypass mode meaning they asked paramedics to other facilities if they could do so safely.

temperatures today. we were 57, average 43, so bonus territory. wilmington 68, atlanta 68 degrees. a lot of warm air especially south and east, chicago 45 degrees, but there's a big storm system developing in the west. that storm will have the effect of pulling a lot of cold air down through the west which will in turn help pump more warm air into the east coast over the weekend. here's what's going to go on tomorrow. we've got this storm system we've watched in the deep south. that is finally pulling north and as it does so, it's going to drag some showers through our area. i think that will mostly be in the afternoon. let's say after 2:00. we'll have the front come through. so we'll be a little cooler for part of our friday. the mild air tries to ride in on saturday. it might take a while. i know it will make it in here for sunday as we expect temperatures to soar to 70 degrees. i'm forecasting 67 degrees for sun. tonight we've got the clouds coming in -- for sunday. tonight we've got the clouds coming in and it will stay warmer. the moisture is coming from the deep south. let's hope t

into the rockies today. great falls. the snow is flying in the mountains and we've got the 70s in atlanta. 60s all the way up into lexington, kentucky. we're going to get almost to 50 thanks to the rain moving in and a little front that pushed through yesterday. well watch this though by saturday, it starts moving to the northern plains but the warmth is lifting up to us. so tomorrow we get into the 60s. probably just low to mid-60s. and then on sunday, that's our warm day as the 60s to around 70 surge toward us. west southwestern pennsylvania. well look at the cold air in chicago at 29 this cold air mass is going to head our way by the second half of next week. big snows flying in the rockies for montana all the way down even to arizona. seeing some snow there with the rains from the storm that hit texas a couple of days ago. that is now lifting into the midwest. still showers and storms in western florida and louisiana and this moisture at least a little bit of it is going to try to get here this afternoon. the travel forecast today. we've got the mooing in during the afternoon -- rain moving in

for the big game. police in the atlanta say they're a very hot item. >> no question. you need chicken wings for the super bowl. >> it's what the lord wants. >> it's not the super bowl without it. >>> later, serious allegations of the producers of "american idol," who is making claims that could turn into a legal drama? >> now we have accusations of racism on the show. rough start to that season. but details coming up in just a second. >>> but first, rethinking a century-old tradition. the boy scouts of america may do an about face when it comes to homosexuality within its ranks. >> they're considering a major shift by welcoming openly gay scouts and leaders. more from abc's larry jacobs. >> reporter: for generations, the boy scouts of america have adhered to a strict policy that excluded gays. but after years of protest, the iconic institution is poised to make a radical change that could open the door to gay scouts and scout leaders. after earning 21 merit badges, he was denied. his father said the change is overdo. >> the short answer is, it's about time. one of the points of the scout la

to be no more kaepernick surprises. everybody is asking is there any way that he can run against atlanta the same that he did against green bay? colin kaepernick better get used to microphones. and how he stays humble. and how he blocks out these accolades. >> a live go home and watch my film and on and go to bed and come back and do it to the same gang. >> the kids were just too much for chip kelly. he signed with the philadelphia eagles. with this record and oregon, money, money, money. and the n f l. montreal head coach once upon a time a raider and an assistant is the new head coach of this chicago bears. >> pam: that sounds like fun. good night. .

. >> last week was relaxed. bathing in the victory over atlanta. i got my first twinge of butterflies. something like that. yeah. it is getting closer. finally. last night the 49ers landed in new orleans and the ravens are also in town. coming in later. joe fonzi, of course, is in new orleans right now, had a chance to visit with a couple of the baltimore ravens at their hotel today. what is it like down there right now, joe? >> reporter: you need two football teams to have a game and they are both in town. that means we got a look at jim harbaugh's older brother john. in addition to the guy you call the heart and soul of the baltimore ravens, ray lewis, who said that super bowl xlvii will be his final game, one way or the other. the 49ers played elite quarterbacks this year and they beat them. rodgers, breeze, brady, ryan. they will see joe flacco, that will be the challenge. joe flacco took the rave toons three playoff wins to earn their way into the super bowl. these are two teams that don't see that much of each other. last thanksgiving the first harbowl happened. joe flacco feels
